EU Cloud Sovereignty Readiness 

In a data-driven economy, cloud sovereignty is no longer just an IT choice: it is a requirement for compliance, resilience and risk control. Yet “EU-hosted” does not automatically mean “EU-sovereign”.

This checklist helps you transform vendor principles and statements into verifiable requirements, useful for procurement, security and governance assessments (including for customer communication platforms and processes).

What you will find in the checklist:

• The essential criteria for assessing European sovereignty beyond data residency alone

• Practical questions on jurisdiction and legal control

• Checkpoints on governance, audit and supplier management

• Indicators for estimating portability and exit readiness (lock-in reduction)

• Focus on the specific risks of customer communication (documents, archives, traceability)

Want to make “EU sovereign” a verifiable requirement?

Download the checklist and use it as a basis for comparing vendors, platforms and architectures with common, measurable and defensible criteria.
